NameDrop is a brand new feature that was added to the iPhone with September's iOS 17 update. It's a bit like AirDrop, but is specifically for quickly sharing your contact information with someone else. All you need to do is touch the top of your iPhone with someone else's to quickly swap info. How to use NameDrop on iPhone NameDrop is switched on by default if you've installed iOS 17. It also needs to be installed on both devices – not just yours. To check if you've got it, go to Settings > General > Software Update. Now hold the top of your iPhone near the top of someone else's handset. A glow should emerge from the top of both devices to show that they're connecting. If you continue holding them together, NameDrop will appear on both screens. You'll then be able to choose Receive Only, or Share to do a full swap. If you want to cancel, just move the two phones apart before the NameDrop completes. Apple notes: "NameDrop only works for sending new contact information, not updating an existing contact." How to turn NameDrop off It's possible to turn NameDrop off altogether on your device, although it's switched on by default. Just go into Settings > General > AirDrop. Now look under the section for Start Sharing By > Bringing Devices Together. Simply switch the toggle off to disable NameDrop on your device.){kind=link}
